IVI-C Driver Functionality
The IVI Foundation’s class driver specification for function generators has been the
model for the features in the N8241A and N8242A AWGs. This includes the
recommended method to incorporate attributes for instrument-specific functions.
Please refer to
IVI-3.15 IviLxiSync Specification
, I
VI-4.3 IviFgen Class
Specification
, and I
VI-3.1 Driver Architecture Specification
for more information.
These can be found at:

MATLAB Interface
MATLAB is one of the programmatic interfaces supported by the N8241A and
N8242A AWGs. Use the set of API functions to configure and play waveforms with
the AWG. A complete list of the API functions can be found in the N8241A Control
Utility in the Help menu. Go to:

Add with Subfolders...
navigate to your local drive and go to where your program files are stored. The
default is:

click
SAVE
, then
Close the Set Path
window.
MATLAB can now execute all of the N8241A API functions.
